Appellate Term, First DepartmentCases released on: December 12, 2018

By: Shulman, P.J., Ling-Cohan, Edmead, JJ.18-329. ABRAHAM DOUKOURE, plf-app, v. JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, def-res — Order (Anthony Cannataro, J.) entered on June 29, 2017, affirmed, without costs.This action was dismissed as a result of plaintiff’s nonappearance at a scheduled court conference (see 22 NYCRR 208.14[b][2]), and plaintiff’s two prior motions to vacate that dismissal were denied because of his nonappearance on the scheduled motion return dates. In this posture, we find no abuse of discretion in the denial of plaintiff’s most recent vacatur motion. Even assuming that plaintiff showed a reasonable excuse for his multiple defaults, he failed to demonstrate a meritorious cause of action (see Fink v. Antell, 19 AD3d 215 [2005]; Munoz v. KittyKind, Inc., 49 Misc 3d 128[A], 2015 NY Slip Op 51396[U][App Term, 1st Dept 2015]).THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.December 12, 2018
